That Friend

He's a darling in a weird, weird way. 

 

Our time's always good. Well, most of the time, no absolutes, ever. 

 

I let him run my iPad when he's here, I learn when he has "control" over the iPad. 

 

Intelligence. 🙄

 

The turkey set me up. Not the first time. Sometimes I go along with nonsense, just to see where this little foray into bovine scat will take us...as does he. 

 

He's intellectually smarter than me by far, but you know what? Sometimes life’s education provides intelligence no book can teach. Street smarts. 

 

Go ahead buddy, underestimate me, that'll be fun. Do you feel lucky? Well do ya?

 

I want some music later in the day, hit Spotify search, and the bull coming up surprises me:

 

sad songs 2022 😭 crying and depressing music

sad music for crying hours and depressing times

sad songs to scream in the shower

 

What the what?

 

I'd told him when he was still here, he needed a visit to the psychologist, because of his dark taste in music, but I didn't realize what he'd typed in the search bar until later.

 

Jerk. 

 

I hate sad songs. Loathe. Sad. Songs.

 

I almost never listen to sad songs.

 

Why listen to something to make me feel sad? It just doesn't make sense; I consciously work to be happy.

 

He on the other hand morbidly listens to crap, reminders of dark days and bad times. Freak.

 

So, if anything happens to me and you have access to my iPad and Spotify, don't think it was ever me listening to sad songs. Or searching for "awful sad songs."

 

It was not.
